Description
This official news bulletin (No. 1745) highlights the activities of the National Library of Nigeria (NLN) during March 2026, showcasing the institution's drive for global partnership and educational engagement. A primary focus of this issue is the high-level meeting between the National Librarian/CEO, Professor Chinwe Veronica Anunobi, and Ms. Raisa Dukas, the Public Affairs Officer of the US Embassy. The discussion centered on revitalizing strategies for digitization and infrastructure to enhance the NLN's position as a leading digital hub in Africa.
The bulletin also documents the library's role as a pedagogical resource, recording an academic excursion by students from Adeyemi University of Education to the NLN Ondo State Branch. These visits are framed as essential for exposing students to the practicalities of legal deposit, archival preservation, and information management.
Furthermore, the document details the NLN’s participation in global observances, including International Women’s Day, where the library staff joined the global call to "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress," and Commonwealth Day, which emphasized the theme "One Resilient Common Future." Through these reports, the bulletin illustrates how the National Library of Nigeria functions not only as a repository of books but as a dynamic cultural and educational center involved in gender advocacy and international relations. The issue concludes with professional development opportunities via the Center for Advanced Library and Information Management (CALIM).
